Default Wheel Nano Coating Recommendation

Just bought a new set of Volks and looking to protect them from the elements as best I can. I've done a good amount of research on the available options (Optimum Gloss Coat, CQuartz, etc) but almost all the reviews are from a paint protection standpoint and not how they hold up to heat and brake dust.

Is there a preferred nano coating for wheels that you guys have used? Hoping to get a few years of protection as it's a weekend car. Looking to apply it myself before mounting tires. Thanks in advance!

Once a year I remove the rims and give them a full cleaning and apply one coat of Menzerna Powerlock, it isn't a nano coating product but it is easy to use and helps to keep dirt and dust from sticking to the rims, easy clean up. I put the stuff on every car part so I only need one product/sealant. One coating lasts a year for me.

I clicked on Direction for the Gryeon Rim Coat. I got nothing. How can a 1-oz bottle coat 4 wheels?

you could use anything to coat them. my biggest worry though is that when you go to wash them with degreasers or other chemicals you will most likely break down the coat immediately. You would have not only to coat them but also stick to using nothing more than car wash soap to clean them which can be a problem if you have alot of brake dust in place

Coatings are more durable now than before. CarPro Reload can withstand most chemicals and not break down like wax and sealant. About the only thing it wont' protect against is using very abrasive brush to clean wheels. That will destroy the coating faster than most chemicals.
